Kia Sonet HTK

About

The Kia Sonet HTK is a feature-packed subcompact SUV that offers a blend of style, comfort, and technology. Powered by a 1197 cc petrol engine producing 81.8 bhp and 115 Nm of torque, or a more powerful 1.5-liter diesel engine in the diesel variant, the Sonet HTK comes with a manual transmission. Key features include a sunroof, multi-function steering wheel, power-adjustable exterior rearview mirrors, touchscreen infotainment, and automatic climate control. The interior is praised for its premium look and feel, with comfortable seating and ample boot space. The Sonet HTK also boasts safety features like ABS, front and side airbags, and a robust build quality. With its high ground clearance and 16-inch wheels, it handles road undulations well, making it a solid choice for both city and highway driving. However, potential buyers should weigh the pros and cons, particularly regarding the engine performance and mileage.

Our take on this /// Verdict

The Kia Sonet HTK variant is a mixed bag, offering both impressive and lacking aspects. On the positive side, it is stylish, with a premium interior and a host of features that enhance comfort and convenience, such as automatic climate control, power windows, and a multi-function steering wheel. However, the performance of the 1.2-liter petrol engine in the HTK Plus variant has been criticized for lacking power, making overtaking a challenging task. Additionally, the mileage, particularly for the petrol version, is not as impressive as expected, ranging from 9.5 to 10 kmpl in the city and up to 14 kmpl on the highway. Despite these drawbacks, the Sonet HTK remains a comfortable and feature-rich option, especially for those prioritizing style and interior amenities.

Price

The Kia Sonet HTK variant is priced competitively in the Indian market. The ex-showroom price for the Sonet HTK in New Delhi is around Rs. 9.02 lakh, while the HTK (O) variant, which includes additional features, is priced at approximately Rs. 9.39 lakh. On-road prices can vary depending on the state and local taxes but generally range from Rs. 10.5 lakh to Rs. 11.5 lakh. This pricing positions the Sonet HTK well against its competitors like the Hyundai Venue and Maruti Brezza, offering a balance of features and affordability.

Mileage

Tuesday, 19 November 2024 04:54 PM The mileage of the Kia Sonet HTK is a point of concern, especially for the petrol version. Users have reported mileage ranging from 9.5 to 10 kmpl in city driving and up to 14 kmpl on the highway. For a 1-liter petrol engine, these figures are somewhat disappointing. However, the diesel variant fares better, but it is crucial to consider your specific driving conditions and preferences when evaluating the Sonets mileage and its impact on running costs.
